Understanding the 12 Rashis in Astrology

Understanding the 12 Rashis in Vedic Astrology: Insights by AstroNitika

Astrology, rooted in the ancient wisdom of the Vedas, is not merely a tool for predicting events but a profound science for self-discovery and life transformation. The 12 Rashis (Zodiac Signs) form the foundation of Vedic astrology, each representing unique energies and karmic influences that shape our personalities, relationships, and life paths.

As a seasoned Vedic astrologer, AstroNitika brings years of expertise and personal experience to her practice. She has guided countless individuals through challenges, offering profound insights into their lives by analyzing their Chandra Rashi (Moon Sign) and planetary alignments. Her personalized approach, rooted in practical remedies and spiritual alignment, empowers individuals to unlock their true potential and transform their lives.

What Makes Vedic Astrology Unique?

Unlike Western astrology, which focuses on the Sun sign, Vedic astrology emphasizes the Moon sign, providing a deeper understanding of one’s emotions, mental patterns, and karmic journey. Your Rashi, determined by the Moon’s position in your birth chart, acts as a guide to align your actions with cosmic energies.
